View Full Version : Can any religious people explain this?

Here are some notes taken from a documentary.

I'm just looking for a response from a Christian.

The ancient Egyptians (3000 BC) worshipped the Sun – a God they called Horus. Some of the attributes of Horus include: born on December 25th, born of a virgin, found by a star in the east, adorned by three kings, started teaching at 12, baptized/ministry at age 30, had 12 disciples, performed miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water, known at the “the light”, “the lamb of God” and many other names. Horus eventually would be crucified, remained dead for three days, and was reserructed.

These myths permeated into many other cultures, and the details about Horus were often attributed to them:
Attis, a Greek God from 1200 BC
Krishna, an Indian God from 900 BC
Dionysus, a Greek God from 500 BC
Mithra, a Persian God from 1200 BC
And many, many, many more share these same characteristics.

The story is entirely astronomical. On December 24th, the brightest star in the east sky, Sirius, lines up with the three stars in Orion’s belt, which point to the sun, worshipped as the God, being “born” on December 25th.

Therefore, the “three Kings” follow the “brightest star” to the birth of the “son of God”

Mary, the mother of Jesus, can be viewed as the constellation Virgo the Virgin. The ancient symbol for virgin is an altered M, which is why Mary, along with other virgin mothers such as Adonis’s mother Myrra and Buddha’s mother Maya.

Virgo is also known as the House of Bread, whose symbol is a virgin holding a piece of wheat. Bethlehem literally translates to “house of bread”

Also, as the winter progresses in early December, the sun appears to continue to move south in the sky, getting smaller and smaller. On December 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, the sun stops moving, and stays in the same point in the sky, just near the “southern cross”. These three days signify death, on the cross. On December 25th, the sun makes it first move back north, or appearing “up”, signifying “birth” This is a possible reason for why each religious myth shares these characteristics. Furthermore, this is not celebrated until the spring, at the spring equinox, because this is the point at which the days start being longer than the night – when “good overcomes evil”

There are over 200 cited claims throughout history of a story told about a great flood which will destroy the nonbelievers. One example includes the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is the story a great flood, in which a man is told by God to take two of each animal onto an ark to start over.

The story of Moses is also plagiarized from the story of Sargon thousands of years earlier. The story is nearly identical, with a mother placing the hero as a baby in a basket, adrift in a river to avoid infanticide, who is later found by royalty and raised as a prince.

Moses status as lawgiver is also a folktale. There are numerous citations of a lawgiver being presented divine law on a mountain, including Manou of India, Minos of Crete, and Mises of Egypt. Even the names were relatively the same.



I'd like a rebuttal from a Christian to consider when weighing in on the above selection.

the most logical response is, there is no truth to these claims about Horus.

http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/horus.htm


At length came the unlucky day when Set succeeded in killing Osiris during the war which the "good god" was waging against him and his fiends. Details of the engagement are wanting, but the Pyramid Texts state that the body of Osiris was hurled to the ground by Set at a place called Netat, which seems to have been near Abydos. 1 The news of the death of Osiris was brought to Isis, and she at once set out to find his body. All legends agree in saying that she took the form of a bird, and that she flew about unceasingly, going hither and thither, and uttering wailing cries of grief. At length she found the body, and with a piercing cry she alighted on the ground. The Pyramid Texts say that Nephthys was with her that "Isis came, Nephthys came, the one on the right side, the other on the left side, one in the form of a Hat bird, the other in the form of a Tchert bird, and they found Osiris thrown on the ground in Netat byhis brother Set." The late form of the legend goes on to say that Isis fanned the body with her feathers, and produced air, and that at length she caused the inert members of Osiris to move, and drew from him his essence, wherefrom she produced her child Horus.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/leg/leg08.htm

the mother of Horus was Isis, the wife of Osiris.....had been for a very long time...she is also supposedly the mother of Anubis......... perhaps you can explain to this Christian how you can draw from that account, that the mother of Horus was a virgin?

the rest of the claims are also false......

PostmodernProphet

Here is an account of the "crucifixion" of Horus......


The fourth and following texts contain a narrative of the troubles of Isis which were caused by the malice of Set, and of her wanderings from city to city in the Delta, in the neighborhood of the Papyrus Swamps. The principal incident is the death of her son Horus, which took place whilst she was absent in a neighboring city, and was caused by the bite of a scorpion; in spite of all the care which Isis took in hiding her son, a scorpion managed to make its way into the presence of the boy, and it stung him until he died. When Isis came back and found her child's dead body she was distraught and frantic with grief, and was inconsolable until Nephthys came and advised her to appeal to Thoth, the lord of words of power, She did so straightway, and Thoth stopped the Boat of Millions of Years in which Ra, the Sun-god, sailed, and came down to earth in answer to her cry; Thoth had already provided her with the words of power which enabled her to raise up Osiris from the dead, and he now bestowed upon her the means of restoring Horus to life, by supplying her with a series of incantations of irresistible might.

I notice that you cleverly avoid any mention of the television show I saw - which demolishes every point YOUR documentary advances(mentioning you, by name), and pinpoints the precise location of Jimmy Hoffa besides. My claim has every bit as much credibility as yours; why don't YOU offer some refutation?

Dear Jack,

Don't worry about these "meanies" that have jumped all over you on this thread.... it is part of the initiation period it seems on this board, I went through the same when I first started here....

The point, people were trying to make with you is that THIS KIND OF Garbage that you have posted is something that we go through all the time....MORE MADE UP CRAPOLA about Christianity, so to try to discredit Christ and our religion.....

With just a little effort and a google, these kind of myths and stories put out there by the non believers can be easily checked and verified to be simply NOT TRUE... as Postmodernprophet showed you with the links he posted.

It's not all your fault....YOU did not make up these myths to try to confuse or discredit, but let this be a lesson....a lesson to do some research before believing these things that have been fabricated by someone or "something" that wants you to believe the LIE.

BTW, welcome to the board and Stick around, although all of these guys seemed extremely mean to me, when I first joined, they are all just pussy cats, and have good souls, even if they drive me absolutey nuts with their "appeared" harshness!

Please do not presume to apologize for some of us you assume are really "pussycats." Jack spends way too much time concerning himself with whatever it is he considers being "edumicated." Seems to me, he who cries loudest is the least secure, but I have neither the time nor the patience to feed his inferiority complex. If all he intends to do is talk down to people from some pretentious perch, I could care less if he stays or goes.

does any of this really matter?

Are only people that are educated worthy of debating their interests or their concerns and all else on this board should be ridiculed or ignored?

I truely am having a hard time understanding how people of Faith on this site, can be so viceral or just simply mean or revengeful or disrespectful or just rude towards other human beings at times? ....maybe you could explain that to me if you are one of those people of the Christian Faith? And I am not talking about this thread persay, but most threads imho, in general?

What is it that makes one behave this way? Being in cyberspace, the anoniminity of it or does one also treat the human beings in their physical life in the same manner, just because they have a different political view?

I have been a stay at home wife for a few years now and am not in the public, working arena anymore, but NO ONE ever was rude or mean or or looked down upon or short with any of the other workers simply because of political stances or because the other employee was uneducated to the degree of others?

And I could be way off base with all of this and just "not used to" being on a board with near all republicans so i could be reading this basically innate hatred towards those that differ and the nastiness that comes with it wrongly, but it sure seems that way to me, and I was wondering how this was justified with your faith, with turning the other cheek and with walking the extra mile with your adversary willingly, after he forced you to walk the first one mile with him?

Or does none of this MATTER in a Cyberworld?

The point is that the story of Jesus is not unique to Christianity. Other religions told similar stories about their gods before ol' Jesus and his 4 evangalists came along.

It also seems that other religions have myths similar to Christianity....like the story of the Great Flood.

It just raises the question of how much of that stuff in the Bible is true, and how much of it is borrowed from the mythology of other religions.

And you're wrong, asking what your intentions are is not the behavior of an uneducated person. Questioning is what 'smart' people do, although they tend to state their purpose for such questioning, unlike you. Or at least your intent wasn't clear to me. Got it Mr. Edjumacation?

not supporting Jack, but if you look at Christianity alot of things were 'borrowed' back when it started to spread out. like the Dec 25th, that wasn't us, that was another holiday. Easter, is really what..Ishtar? and the rabbits and eggs are a sign of fertility. Ishtar also i wanna say survied a great flood inside of a magie egg. the candy canes, with the white and red. that comes from another religion where you would walk under a grate in white robes while they killed a bull over you. those are just a few examples that i could remember off the top of my head from a class that i took.

i am not dissing/trying to disprove Christianity or God. i believe in God and Jesus. but back then, in the earlier times, chrisitanity 'adapted' other religions to either make it easier for ppl to join or to make them happy. they wanted to be the cool kid that everyone liked. but even with adding all of those different aspects it really doesn't take away from the core of things when you get down to it

And when January '09 comes around and we get a president who has a fucking brain in his or her head (doesn't matter if it's Republican or Democrat...any of the leading candidates will be a quantum improvement over the current bonehead CinC), we'll start to deploy you courageous conservatives in ways that make sense.
